This is a stock scan of the issue, so it shows what the comic looks like rather than this exact copy. Books under $5 are sold on my word: the grade is my honest read of this copy, and anything I spot is written in. If a photo would make the difference, ask and I will do what I can.

Story

Forge is in the Kuwaiti desert, sifting through the remains of what is believed to be Asteroid M. The question remains: how come it is still largely intact. Forge comes to the conclusion that something, or someone, must have guided it back to Earth. Inside, the statuesque figures of three dead Acolytes face the broken armor of their lord, Magneto. Charles Xavier, meanwhile, enters into a live television debate with Senator Robert Kelly and the leader of the Friends of Humanity, Graydon Creed. Each provides their own arguments for and against human/mutant co-existence. Creed is clearly willing to fight for human rights, while Kelly finds himself agreeing with much that Charles has to say. Hank McCoy is brought into the debate and takes every opportunity to ridicule Creed, much to the amusement of his fellow X-Men watching the show at Harryâs Hideaway. Bishop finds a waitress working there a little suspicious. Also watching the show are the Upstarts of which Creed is a member. The Gamesmaster tells them that a new mutant that Fitzroy is molding for membership will be the last entrant to their game. Back at Xavierâs mansion, Illyana is feeling poorly and has developed a cough. Piotr promises he will always be there for her.
